Lack of an effective sales process is the biggest reason that well planned marketing fails to deliver results.

High Ticket Sales = High Value Sales

For many coaches and consultants, selling high ticket coaching and consulting programs can seem difficult or out of reach. High ticket sales seem like something that only “celebrity coaches” can acheive.

In reality though, it’s almost impossible to build a 7 figure professional services, coaching or consulting business without offering high value products and services. Unless you are selling at least some $10K+ products, building a 7 figure business will require you working with hundreds of clients – difficult to acheive even with a large team. That’s why most successful professional services firms, coaches and consultants offer 5 and 6 figure products and services.

However selling high ticket products and services online requires a totally different approach to selling low and mid ticket items.

High ticket products and services generally need to be sold via a 1:1 consultation or sales conversation. Generally you can sell products for a few hundred dollars from a website or sales page, but when you are asking buyers to invest thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, they want to speak with you. And in reality – you should want to speak with them. Selling high ticket products and services to clients without knowing they are a good match are one of the fastest ways to run a successful business into the ground.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at a High Value Sales Process for selling high ticket professional services like coaching and consulting programs online.

SALES Process for High Ticket Sales

The High Value SALES Process is a 5 step framework for Selecting, Attracting, Leading, Evaluating and Selling to more high value clients in your business.

The process is designed to work for both offline sales and online sales. In fact, when I work with clients I generally start by looking at their existing successful offline sales process and use that as a basis for their online sales process.

Importantly, you need to understand, plan and document your sales process before you undertake any marketing activity. Otherwise your marketing isn’t going to deliver the right client
